Which episode got you into Futurama?

[Reply #80 on:]

I had seen other episodes before (including the premier) but I sort of stopped watching it.

Im sorry I was young and reckless!

But later on AS, I saw Leela's Homeworld and I absolutly fell in love with the show.

What a mushy sweet episode.

The first ep. I saw was " Fear of a Bot Planet" and I stuck with Futurama since then. I still like that ep. today. Also, I'm with Cloud 9 because I never watched Simpsons before Futurama.

For me, ever since I saw the cover of this one Magazine back in '98, I knew it'd be great, but alas, I didn't actually see it until the premire of "My Three Suns". Great ep. I guess that's what really got me into it.

Believe it or not thats more or less what happend with me.

 I saw half an episode of the Simpsons once before I saw Futurama,  I still don't  like the Simpsons.

 Futurama I LOVE.

Wow.  That's weird.

[Reply #87 on:]

Love & Rocket. I couldn't stop laughing during that. I watched a few eps from the first season, but then forgot about it, and found it again on Adult Swim.

[Reply #88 on:]

I've been watching ever since it first came on Aussie TV with Space Pilot 3000. I saw every episode (although I missed Hell Is Other Robots) and thought it was an alright show. It gave me a few chuckles, but it just came across to me as sorta lame and immature - so I still wasn't fully into it...

Then, in early 2003, I saw War Is The H-Word and couldn't stop laughing. Right from the "War were declared" part, this episode made me burst into uncontrollable laughter countless times, especially with Zapp's hilarious lines. After this episode, I was hooked.

Since then, I've gone back & watched every old episode again, and I can't believe I didn't like the show sooner. I really missed all the good jokes the first time around, and it's now my favourite show - second to South Park in the laugh/sattire department though.

[Reply #89 on:]

I liked it from the first but often forgot to watch it. It wasn't until series 3 and greats like AWITM and Parasites Lost that I got into it in a big way.

[Reply #90 on:]

first one i saw was raging bender and was confused as to why there was a robot a lobster a cyclops ect. And thought the show was childish (could i have been more wrong)then a friend told me that futurama is the best show ever so i watched it next week (it was godfellas) and have loved it ever scence.

[Reply #91 on:]

It was probably one of the following:

A Flight To Remember
Parasites Lost, or
Insane in the Mainframe.

Don't really remember which one, TBH.

[Reply #92 on:]

From the beginning I watched/taped until Hell is Other Robots, then for a while I didn't watch. (mostly because I thought they wern't showing any new episodes) When I learned they were showing episodes on Cartoon Network I got a tape and taped almost all of season 2 and what season three episodes I didn't have. But when I learned they cancled it, that's when I started really appreciating it, that's also when I started hating KOTH. I taped the rest of season four and got the DVDs.

I love Futurama, hate KOTH.

You and me both brother!

[Reply #94 on:]

I find it too simple. I'm fond with the Simpsons, but my brother is the big fan of them. Where as I rest in the grave of Futurama. 

[Reply #95 on:]

Yeah, diehard simpsons fans dont know how good they have it right now.

[Reply #96 on:]

I missed SP3K back when first shown and I didn't really get into the show until Adult Swim. So I'm a latecomer.

Any particular episode that sealed the deal for me? Probably "Farnsworth Parabox."

[Reply #97 on:]

"Farnsworth Paradox" was awesome! I agree. What is KOTH?

[Reply #98 on:]

Originally it was My Three Suns, then I stopped watching since it was pre-empted so much. Then my friend was talking about it and I realized it was still running (I thought it was cancelled). The episode that got me going then was Amazon Women in the mood.

[Reply #99 on:]

Both are good episodes to start off on dude. Amazon Women in  the Mood is hilarious.

[Reply #100 on:]

I watched Space Pilot 3000, when it first aired on Oz TV, and thought its funny but Simpson's is still better.  I followed it for a bit and began to watch a few more and it got funnier and funnier, i taped one ep on time record cuz i was out and it happened to be, 'My Three Suns'. 

After changes of days and time slots, it was hard to keep track of and i lost interest.  But was going through my tape collection looking for something else (and as always u find things when ur not looking for them)and found that ep, and it cracked me up and is the result of me buying Season one on DVD which lead me to buy seasons 2 and 3, and yet to be 4.
2 things made me crack up which are as follow's.

Lela - Bender, ur's gonna be a cook? But
       Robots don't have taste.
Bender - Lady, i wouldn't talk about taste 
         if i was wearing that lime green 
         tank top.
Fry - BAM!

AND

Bender - Relax, that meal was 10% less then a leathal dose (of salt)
Zoidberg - O oh, i shouldn't have had seconds.

[Reply #101 on:]

I was hooked when I first heard about it on telly. I saw the pilot and many afterwards. Itwasn't until I got my first season dvd boxset that I became a hardcore fan, if you will, which was around Jan 2003

[Reply #102 on:]

first episode i saw was "War is the H-world". After watching it i understood that Futurama is something i want to see again and again

[Reply #103 on:]

i just started watching it on adult swim one day an liked it so i started watching it every night it was on I dont realy remember which episode it as though

[Reply #104 on:]

Hell Is other Robots is the 1st episode I watched and I have never looked back, except to that episode, repeatedly!

[Reply #105 on:]

"Space Pilot 3000" did it for me!

My two sons told me about a new cartoon by Matt Groening, so I had to watch!

"King of the Hill"
 

[Reply #107 on:]

Definitely the episode where they went back to 1947 and Fry became his own grandfater

"Roswell That Ends Well" is a big favorite of ours too.
 

[Reply #109 on:]

That it should be. Who doesn't like a science fiction, historical, joke episode? Especially one with such a disgusting paradox...  (Oh by the way, it's the reason I'm hooked too... even though I've mentioned that on this thread already)

[Reply #110 on:]

Of course, Professor Farnsworth has always been my favorite character since I got into it, with Bender following close behind ( hard choice).

[Reply #111 on:]

I was never hooked on the show until it started playing on Adult Swim - then BAM, just like a spice weasel, I can't live without it.

Amen!!

 

[Reply #113 on:]

In the four years that Futurama was accurate, I have only seen three episodes. And two of them  (WMIBACIL & Leela's Homeworld) I had no clue what the show was. The third one (Farnsworth Parabox) I was familiar with it and I was watching it on Adult Swim at the time and still do. But a couple of months after it got cancled I went to go watch a new one on FOX and didn't realize it was cancled. Than I went to IMDb.com, damn! If my memory was better I would have seen it more on FOX!

[Reply #114 on:]

Ive been hooked since the first episode aired on fox.

Hi, Lurker, and welcome to PEEL!

This should help, too.

The Grunka Lunka episode.

[Reply #117 on:]

Oh, I haven't posted here yet ?!?

I've seen Futurama from the German start on, but forgot about it after the first season.

Then I got readdicted to it by watching "I second that emotion" on a winamp stream last year.

Aslate's Peelfaq seems do be down, because the whole alltoons.co.uk server is down    .

Luckily aslate has a copy saved somewhere on his home server: http://thefryhole.no-ip.com/tfh/peelfaq.php 

Sadly the other link you gave Y_L_B doesn't work either    .
There is a "/" missing in the end of the url.

[Reply #119 on:]

2 episodes got me hooked:

The Problem with Popplers and Hell is Other Robots.
TPWP was the first ep I saw and I liked the humor in Futurama. HIOR I liked because of Bender and the "Robot Hell" song
